==Policy on Artwork==
''Adopted 27 May 2023''
In order to meet the needs of various different committees and programs, emblazonments need to meet the following requirements:
1. Emblazonments must be in a lossless digital format (GIF preferred, PNG, TIF, & BMP acceptable), with a minimum size of 1000 pixels in both horizontal and vertical directions. This to be measured over the active image only, not counting any white space surrounding it. Such white space should be minimized to the extent practicable.
2. The image must be completely opaque, with no transparency of any sort. One exception: if desired, the background (including all areas of background enclosed by the image) may be set transparent if the image format is GIF.
This is a new standards, and will be subject to change with experience.
